Back to School with Arizona Helping Hands

BY JACK IE BRIGGS In college I volunteered at a shelter offering emergency support services to Arizona’s most vulnerable children and families. The little ones with whom I connected at the shelter—some of whom had been there for months prior to finding a more permanent home—stole my heart over and over again.

Making the Decision to Foster: I looked forward to seeing the kiddos’ little faces, and there were many times I was moved to tears after the children were placed in new homes. I knew it was unlikely I would see the kids again; all I could do was hope wherever they were living was safe and stable, and they knew they were loved. I wanted to give those kids the world, and at 19 years old I decided my future plans would include being a foster parent. That was one of the best decisions I have ever made.

Arizona Helping Hands: From that experience, I know how challenging it is to take on a kid (or multiple kids!) with only a few hours’ notice. I selected Arizona Helping Hands (AHH) as my charity for 2020 because their programs offer support to children in foster care and their families throughout the state of Arizona. AHH provides essential needs for Arizona’s children in foster care through their programs promoting safety, permanency and health. In 2019, they provided “A safe place to sleep” for 3,560 children by distributing new beds, cribs, and bedding to children in foster care. Additionally, they provide diapers, clothing, toiletries and much more. Arizona Helping Hands operates with a 7% overhead, meaning that 93 cents out of every dollar raised goes directly back to services that help children in foster care such as personalized birthday packages, backpacks filled with school supplies and much more!

Donation Match! As part of my commitment to Arizona Helping hands, I have sponsored Birthday Dreams for 50 children and Back-toSchool backpacks for 72 children. In addition, I will MATCH your financial donation for up to another 50 Birthday Dreams packages! Join me in volunteering at AHH to assemble Birthday Dreams and Back-to-School packages. For information on upcoming volunteer events, email jackie@AzSoldHomes.com.

Supporting Their Mission: My commitment to Arizona Helping Hands is focused on their Birthday Dreams and Back-to-School programs. In 2019, AHH gifted birthday packages—valued at $75 each and supplied by generous community donations—to 3,596 children in foster care, many of whom experienced the celebration of their birthday for the first time. Volunteers select, wrap and decorate personalized Birthday Dreams packages using the information provided by the child’s foster parent or caseworker. In addition to birthday celebrations, AHH provides Back-to-School packages with backpacks and necessary supplies for children in foster care to begin their school year. In 2019, more than 6,500 children were provided backpacks filled with ageappropriate school supplies, from preschool through college. These two programs provide children with a sense of normalcy and belonging, during a challenging time in their lives. I hope that our Moon Valley community will join me in supporting AHH’s mission!

Please include “Moon Valley” in the “Company” field upon donating, to ensure tracking of my matching gift so that your donation benefits even more boys and girls in foster care!

Rookie Mom: A Letter to MY Daughter During COVID

BY BRIGHID CONS TABLE Dear Brynn, You just spent 35 minutes screaming at the top of your lungs that you “want to go home!” It’s 2:23 p.m. and it looks like there is no sign of a nap after driving you around the neighborhood, hoping that you’ll nod off.

This past week, you haven’t napped for 3 days and I’m afraid this is becoming your new quarantine normal.

I’ve just graded 60-something massive student projects for their final since their grades were due to the school yesterday. It’s been a long process offering quality feedback to show students that I am here for them during this time, as scary and unusual as we sign off this school year in an “unprecedented way.”

You’re now on the couch watching a show on YouTube Kids, exhausted, continually drinking from your sippy cup since your throat is shocked from the screaming. I hate that YouTube Kids has been your informal teacher these past few weeks. I hate that I am feeling not enough for my students, but mostly for you.

Today Aunt Molly is officially finished with graduate school getting her degree in life coaching at Grand Canyon University. She’s been excited about it for weeks. She says that she’s happy that she didn’t get to walk, but I can tell she’s faking it. We’ve been visiting Aunt Molly often since she’s in her apartment on call all day as she juggles wrapping up her degree, adapting to her new insurance job at home, and trying to stay entertained with her dog and cat without socializing with the chance of getting sick.

Dad is excited about his new tablet that he just bought for his birthday. (You know he never gets much for himself.) I think he’s finally getting bored of playing World of Warcraft and ready for a new hobby.

These days seem easy: working from home is more relaxed, but at the end of the day, I can be as grateful as I am to have a job during this time, have a roof over our head, and not struggle with bills or food.

But the seeming is tricky.

When the quarantine began, I was secretly and guiltily grateful to spend all this time with you. I love our conversations, art projects, dance parties, and just watching you grow. But it’s far past seeming easy, to now wondering if I’m doing enough for you .

Today, the CDC finally released an outline of how the U.S. can begin getting

out of quarantine and how to operate businesses. Next week, I get to have you all to myself. (I’m envisioning a “Letter of the Week” and some other solid preschool learning activities.)

I know we’ll be robbed of our usual summer activities at the library and community center. Should I put you back in daycare part time so you can socialize, my only child? Is that the education you need right now?

But you’re okay. You’re safe.

You’re deeply and vastly loved.

And right now, that is going to have to be enough.

Because you are a good kid. You are consistently curious, observant.

You care about Fable and Zooey and Grandma and Grandpa and Granny V and Aunt Abby and… Everything.

You are a great kid.

No, I’m not too worried about how you’re going to turn out. Or if I’m doing enough. Or if you can feel our stresses.

Because Dad and I are good people, too… Trying the best we can with what we have.

And you are the best we have.

I love you, Brynn Marie. Enjoy your YouTube.

Love, Mom Brighid Constable is mother to a crazy 3-year-old daughter, Brynn, and has been married to her Welsh husband, Adam, for 6 years. Brighid is an English teacher at Boulder Creek High School and freelance writer for Phoenix Magazine, North Valley Magazine, Arizona Foothills Magazine, and Tucson Magazine. She has written for many online publications such as Hello Giggles, The Mighty, and Scary Mommy. She is a proud resident at The Cove at North Canyon in Moon Valley.

TRAPPED IN MOON VALLEY

LET TER FROM THE EDITOR

After many weeks of quarantine, living a very different life and staying home, social distancing and not working, I have great news….. Its summer!! Time for a little bit of fun and slowly getting out and socializing (of course social distancing) , seeing family, catching up with old friends and getting out of town. Vacation season seems to look soo different for all of us now, for at least a few more months. But one of the best things about where we live, is the many wonders of the world right in our backyard.

Educational opportunities for continuing to teach our children about the great history, the land, wildlife and humankind are in abundance in our great state.

People will be staying closer to home more than usual, believe me I know, but please be careful of the highways and byways leading back to Moon Valley, I spent over 4.5 hours returning from up north on Mother’s Day. I urge you to be prepared, keep a cooler of fresh water, snacks, and games for children in the car, be sure to pack Fido’s water dish and lease, and relax, there is no other way back home once you get on those roads. Another great tip is making sure your vehicle is in tip top shape, air conditioners working, gassed up and ready to roll.

Which leads me to another plus, gas prices, little perk and great incentive for summertime travel this year.

So, now I ask, Where are you going to go? Get out that Arizona Map, some push pins, and handy dandy internet, search for that fun spot, go see something you have never seen before, Now is a wonderful time to support local, eat at little family spots, stay at small little properties, there are so many new little wineries, farms with fresh fruits, veggies and nuts as well.

Live and Love Arizona, happy summer, stay safe and healthy, and remember to take your Tattler, we want reports from the road this summer!

Lookout Moon Valley: Your Tavern is Back (And Better than ever)

BY HANA AL AN IS

This restaurant with its’ towering facade looks out on none other than Lookout Mountain, the namesake for Kevin Stout’s energetic gastric pub in the heart of Moon Valley. A great local bar and restaurant at its core, Lookout Tavern is an elevated experience people go out of their way for. Lucky for us, it’s in our own backyard.

Kevin Stout, joint-owner of Lookout Tavern, always knew in the back of his mind that he wanted to open a restaurant. A second generation Phoenix native, Kevin grew up in the northwest valley, having even lived a few years in Moon Valley proper when very young. The original restaurant idea was small: find a bar for sale, fix it up, make it profitable, learn and grow. While Kevin has many years of business experience (but not in the food and restaurant industry) he knew he needed to find the right partner to bring those industry skills to the table. Todd Ahlf became that person. With the stars aligning, Kevin and Todd were ready to do this.

Kevin and Todd were guided by a few simple rules for their endeavor: it needed to be somewhat close to home, in an area lacking of options. Kevin had no interest in competing with a high-rent, high-competition area for the same customers everyone else was going after.

“

I wanted to create a truly local bar, that pushed the limits of what a “local” bar could be. We were keenly aware that if we wanted to be successful, we needed to cater to the entire community.”

-Kevin Stout

With a fresh sense of enthusiasm, and a partner with ideas as big as his, they set out to find a spot that could build something they would be proud of. Gone was the idea of just a lipstick job on something existing. “I don’t remember how, but more and more we began to focus on the Moon Valley” explains Kevin.

“You have a very unique population mix in this area. You have many long time Phoenix residents, golfers, and families, but you also have a very dense population of younger people who are attending school while also working and find the many affordable apartment complexes appealing.”

And of course, Lookout Tavern was born.

Grub. Games. Cocktails. Lookout Tavern does all three very well. “Super fun atmosphere, extensive beer list as well as wine and spirits/cocktails.

Aaaaaand the food is A-MA-ZING!!!....Think y’all nailed it. We have soooooo needed you for Moon Valley!!! Cheers!” says reviewer Jennifer F. of Kevin and Todd’s restaurant.

But then COVID hit.

“COVID was very hard on us in the begining. We only wanted the best for our staff, and at the time, that was keeping them working for as long as they could,” explains Kevin. And they did just that until the state-wide closure took

6 June 2020 | info@mvtattler.com

effect. “We took a couple days off to come up with a plan. We knew very quickly that this was not going to be a short term shutdown and decided that we had to go ALL IN on the take-out and delivery.”

Kevin took the weekend to build out their entire menu by hand into their new POS system, allowing for an in-house takeaway program which avoided needing to integrate a third-party delivery app which gouges restaurant owners. We all know how awesome it was too that to-go service was allowed to include alcohol, so Kevin used this opportunity to schedule bartenders and managers that were able to both mix drinks and deliver when needed.

The Moon Valley community took very quickly to the new online ordering - hundreds of orders were filled and delivered by Lookout Tavern staff. With the online orders ever growing, Kevin was able to keep his entire kitchen team employed. “While some staff had lost hours or their job at other places, we ended up being able to convert them to full time. This was very important to us, because we feel having quality kitchen staff working this entire time will allow us to jump start dine-in service without a hitch or dip in quality.”

And re-starting dine-in service is just what Kevin is doing on June 1st.

Taking a little longer hiatus, Kevin wanted to invest even more into Lookout Tavern, evaluating areas to improve the experience for community members coming back to the restaurant. Some of the most notable changes are additional booth seating, a massive 22 foot LED TV wall, and a menu featuring over 20 new items to include entrees featuring steak, salmon, pasta and new burgers. “It’s a departure from the more standard pub fair we’re known for,” states Kevin.

I asked Kevin what’s his favorite meal at Lookout Tavern: “On the healthier side, I’m very excited about our new Chipotle Lime Chicken Platter, a massively flavorful blackened chicken breast dinner topped with pico de gallo, tortilla strips, and chipotle ranch, with salad. On my fatty side, we just added Bacon Ranch Loaded Tots... Literally powerdering tater tots with ranch dust, topped with cheddar,. bacon. chives. and drizzled with ranch. We have all new deserts, including caramel loaded churros with vanilla frosting dip, and a new ultimate root beer float, served in one of our massive 32 oz beer mugs.”

Dang Kevin.... that sounds de-lic-ious.

To the Moon Valley community, Kevin shares this: “We truly thank you for your support over the last 2 months, and all 2 and a half years we’ve been in Moon Valley, and look forward to many, many more.”

And I’ll leave this here for you all reading:

Because you’re right Bri, Lookout Tavern is amazeballs.

Market Your New or Established Business for Long-Term Success With many tools and resources available, it is easy for entrepreneurs to Grow Traffic and Collaborate build successful businesses. The United States has somewhere around 27 million entrepreneurs, and 69% of them started their businesses at home, according to the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor report from researchers at Babson College and Baruch College.

If you’re your own boss (or want to be), consider learning from those who have successfully navigated the path before you. For example, entrepreneur Russell Brunson started his first online company while he was in college. Today, he is the co-founder of ClickFunnels, a successful software company that helps entrepreneurs get their messages out to the marketplace quickly and efficiently.

“Every year, tens of thousands of businesses start and fail because the entrepreneurs don’t understand one essential skill: the art and science of getting people to find you,” Brunson said.

Find a Proven Business Model There’s no need to reinvent the wheel. Many entrepreneurs have already blazed trails, run tests and figured out what kind of online marketing models work. If you can find someone who’s succeeding at doing what you want to do, then put a fresh spin on their methods.

Identify Your Dream Customer After you’ve chosen your online marketing model, work to identify your dream customers. The better you understand your potential customers, the easier it can be to find where they congregate online, understand their wants and needs, and attract them to your product or service with organic and paid campaigns.

Build Your Sales Funnel Brunson advocates using online sales funnels to build business and revenue.

The basic sales funnel begins with a low-risk offer, captures shipping and payment information, offers an upsell and concludes with a simple confirmation. Now perhaps the business you want to start (or the business you’re already in) doesn’t lend itself to a shipped product. No problem. Let’s say you’re a realtor - you can’t send a free house! But you can provide them a free digital checklist of this to keep note of when readying themselves to buy their first home. You are still giving something away for free, and in return you’re receiving invaluable date: an email address to follow up on.

F A M I LY F E A T U R E S

Learn where your dream customers hang out online. Work behind the scenes to connect with your target audience. With a little research, you can identify the places your target customers tend to congregate. Places like Facebook groups, YouTube channels, podcasts, blogs and other platforms serve as trusted sources of information, and these are the places where they’re more apt to listen to what you have to say. Make a list of 100 of these hangouts and reach out to the people behind the scenes. Listen, learn, pitch collaborative opportunities and pay for ads if that’s what it takes to get in front of your audience.

Don’t just post on social media; understand it. Social media is a powerful tool for marketers and entrepreneurs. Depending on your business, you may be able to leverage both your personal profile and a business account to connect with your audience. Another key is customizing your strategy for each platform. Know which channels your target audience members use and focus your energy there. Understand the platform’s algorithm and post content it wants to share with its users.

And remember to layer your marketing - whether starting a new business or keeping yours growing, you need to be actively putting your brand and content into the world. This means ensuring your social media post is seen with an boosted budget, and then that content appears as a Google ad, and that content is then written out more fully to be an article in your local newspaper next to a printed advertisement for your services. The old adage of “you need to see something seven times” is true, but our brains don’t want to see that same thing seven times in the exact same way and in the exact same place.

Now go be successful!

Semper Fi.

Meet Linda Sovola: Your Local Agent

BY LINDA SOVOL A I am so excited to be home! Although I was born in Indianapolis, Indiana, I have always considered Phoenix to be my home. I moved to Phoenix when I was 6, attended St. Vincent de Paul, Xavier, Maryvale High and graduated from Arizona State University with a degree in Business. For 20 years I have held a Real Estate Brokers license and for 10 of those years I co-owned a property management company in Tucson. Like many others from the desert, I left to explore other places to call home. I lived in Idaho and Hawaii, but ultimately realized that the desert was calling me home.

Along the way, I realized my true passion was to help others. I decided to become an insurance agent because it allowed me to connect with others while helping them.

For this reason, upon returning to Phoenix, I found the opportunity to purchase a Farmers Agency. Providing insurance is very personal. I am able to develop lasting relationships that allow me to help my clients and their families navigate the different phases of their life with the appropriate coverage. It gives me immense satisfaction, knowing that I am able to provide them with the peace of mind of knowing they are safe, either in their home, business and auto. I can even assist with life insurance and long-term care coverage.

I invite each of you to stop by my office, I would love to meet you and see if I can be of service. At Farmers, we give amazing discounts to many people with qualifying occupations which save them a lot of money. Our agency gives trustworthy advice and honest ways to give you peace of mind for the right price. Serving people is my passion.

Charley B Y C AT H Y H AY E S

Adorable Charley (635641) is a quirky girl who was rescued from an unfortunate situation that is seen all too often. This sweet two-year-old calico and a few other kitties were abandoned by their owner in early May before being rescued by Arizona Humane Society Cruelty Investigators, an example of just one of more than 7,400 calls AHS went on last year for possible cruelty situations.

Fortunately, this beautiful kitty was healthy but has had a little bit of a hard time adjusting to life in the shelter and would love to find her forever home soon. Charley can be a little shy at first when meeting strangers but with some love and chin scratches, she is sure to be your friend in no time. Although she was rescued with other felines previously, AHS recommends she be the only cat in the home due to her nervous nature around other cats.

All AHS Adoption locations are temporarily closed, but AHS’ Virtual Adoption Matchmaking Program by appointment is available to place pets like Charley with their forever families! For more information, visit azhumane.org/ adopt.

Please note: This pet might have been adopted by the time of your Virtual Matchmaking Adoption by Appointment, however AHS has dozens more wonderful pets who also need loving homes. Please take a moment to meet some of the other dogs, cats and other companion animals at the shelter!

Interested adopters can view available pets on our Adopt pages on our website, and schedule an appointment online to meet their next furry friend! To see all adoptable animals right now, visit www.azhumane.org/findapet.

This marks the 16th year and one of the most successful years!

This year… we had a photo booth for the doggies… all enjoyed... big smiles and wagging tails!

We raised $1,000 for “Lost Our Home” Pet Rescue... animal shelter and adoptions! www.Lostourhome.org We were able to feed 30,000+ hungry pets, helped 26,000+ pets return to their families following a crisis, and placed 9,000+ homeless pets into their forever homes!

Pool Tips to help get your Pool Swim-Ready

BY JANEEN BURY, SPLISH SPL ASH POOL SERVICE & REPAIR With the COVID-19 pandemic, it is important to properly sanitize everything, including your pool water. Warmer temperatures, and moisture, provide an ideal environment for the growth of various forms of bacteria, including algae. Also, water that is left unattended becomes stagnant, posing major health risks through the growth of various forms of bacteria. You can prevent your pool from growing algae and bacteria with proper preparations.

Neglected pools can turn green over night when the temperatures suddenly soar, and that is a costly mistake.

For Starters, you must focus on having proper filtration in your pool. Make sure your filtration system runs for 10-12 hours per day during the summer (1 hour for every 10 degrees of outside temperature). Also keep an eyeout for any damaged equipment by frequently checking for air and water leaks Once your filtration system is properly functional, you then need to focus on the chemical balancing of your pool water. A very important action to prevent algae growth is the increase in chlorine content (Shock your pool). With the soaring summer temperatures in Phoenix, the chlorine in your water will dissipate more than twice as quickly than during cooler months.

Once the basis of pool sanitation is met, you can then focus on maintaining your filtration system. The two major ways you can do this is by backwashing your Sand or DE filter system once a month. (Backwashing is not applicable to cartridge filters). Depending on what type of filter you have. You also need an internal filter cleanout. Industry standards are every 4-6 months for a Cartridge Filters, and annually for a DE or Sand Filter.

With Sand and DE Filters, backwash valves get stuck and will not move, do not force it. Forcing it may cause a valve rupture or handle to break, resulting in costly repair. Instead, it simply needs a backwash valve tune up, where it is taken apart and the o-rings are properly lubricated, or replaced.

We hope these tips help you get started to prepare for uninterrupted swimming over the long hot summer. If you experience any complications along the way, please give us a call: we are happy to help. We offer many levels of pool maintenance plans. Our chemical service is designed to help you save money in the long run by providing all of the necessary chemical maintenance at a fixed monthly price.

CLOUDY WATER? CHEMICALS NOT PROPERLY BALANCED? POOR SUCTION?

STUBBORN ALGAE? DANGEROUS CHEMICAL STORAGE? DIRTY POOL?

The Bike Boom!

BY LEON, TRY ME BIC YCLE Who would have thought so many people would be riding bicycles. Not just weekends or special days, but for the last month and a half. It has been a great way to get around and exercise while also being a much easier way to social distance.

I see some folks riding with a squeaky chain and tires that are almost flat.

Other bikes have the seat too low. Just a little oil for that chain and air in the tires makes for a way smoother ride. Seats should be high enough so the legs are almost fully extended on the down stroke. So when every one is passing you- including the child on a 16 inch bike- review the list above.

Old bikes can be very heavy, giving you a slow hard ride. Some times a tune up is all that is needed, and we can help with that at Try Me Bicycle. Bicycle riding shouldn’t be a lot of work but fun.

For all of you riders out there, there is a new under pass at McClintock an the Salt River. This was a tough crossing, even with the stop light. Lots of traffic at Tempe Market Place which is next to the bike path. Fortunately the new underpass should help.

Ride safe- it’s good to bicycle.

This is how you can afford to renovate

BY BRANDI PAUCEK, CALIBER HOME LOANS Most of us have had the opportunity to spend a great amount of time at home over the past few months. Maybe you’ve been able to finally tackle some home improvement projects. Maybe you’ve fallen in love with your home, even more than before. Then, there are those of us that are finally ready for the big changes we’ve been thinking about for a while, like my family! We are now in the middle of an exciting, major renovation of our home.

Being short on cash for large projects and full remodels is a common problem many families have, including ours. We all know our Moon Valley properties have “great bones”, but the cost to update can add up fast, and quickly become much more than we have a budget for, like it did for us. So, we weighed a few options, and we found the best one for us-a Homestyle Renovation Refinance.

As you may have heard, mortgage interest rates are amazing right now, and property values continue to rise. It’s a perfect time to get a lower interest rate, and renovate to increase your property value at the same time! You can finance a minimum of $5,000 in simple repairs like paint and appliances, or more expensive improvements like additions, guest houses, and full gut remodels.

Renovation financing is available for purchasing too!

The biggest advantage a renovation loan has over non-renovation financing lies with the appraisal of your home. A regular purchase, cash out refinance or home equity line of credit appraisal cannot count any future remodel costs in the property value. Renovation financing allows the appraiser to value your home as if the remodel was already finished. Other advantages over a regular cash out refinance/home equity line of credit include the allowance to borrow more of your equity, and lower interest rates!

Subtle, But It Says It

By Roseanne “A statement of the times? Profound the word you used, yet your painting looks like a book cover for “Mr. and Mrs. Mouse at Home. It’s…it’s juvenile! This stay at home order certainly stunted your artistic expression.”

Cameron merely smiled. “Look again, my friend, the devil’s in the details.”

Through an exasperated sigh Gregory complied. “A door, pink no less, covering a hole in a wall, seashell awning, stone welcome mat and a birdbath.

It says nothing.”

Cameron waited.

“Ahha!” Gregory finally marveled.

“There’s no doorknob. No way in or out.

The surreal splashed with truth. I love it!”

Different Trusts Meet Different Needs in your Estate Plan B Y L I B B Y B A N K S , P L L C , E S TAT E P L A N N I N G

There are a number of different types of trusts we use when doing an estate plan. Here is a bit about a few or the most common.

The Revocable Living Trust The primary trust we use in estate planning is the Revocable Living Trust (“RLT”). It is the foundation of most plans and offers many benefits. Not only does it contain instructions for managing the assets in the trust if you become incapacitated, but it will also avoid the need for a probate court proceeding on your death. The person(s) you select will be able to step in quickly to gather, sell and distribute your assets to your beneficiaries with no need for a court’s involvement.

Irrevocable Trusts When we create an irrevocable trust, we intend that we will not change or revoke the trust. Once we put it in place, the circumstances permitting a change to the trust are limited. An irrevocable trust has some specific uses, most of them involve transferring property out of your hands and out of your control – meaning someone else will serve as the trustee of the irrevocable trust.

There are four primary uses for irrevocable trusts: estate tax planning, providing for a spouse in a second (or third) marriage where there are children from the previous marriage, asset protection and providing for special needs beneficiaries.

When the estate tax exemption was very low, many people set up an irrevocable trust to avoid estate taxes or provide money to pay the taxes. Estate taxes – or inheritance or death taxes as they are sometimes called – are calculated based on what you own – what is in your estate – at your death. In order to avoid estate taxes, you might create a trust and transfer some of that property out of your estate and into the estate of someone (your children, for instance) whose estate is smaller and who will not pay an estate tax.

An irrevocable trust can also be created upon your death to benefit a spouse in a blended family situation. This irrevocable trust can be used to care for your spouse as a beneficiary during his or her lifetime, while assuring that at his or her death your children receive the property in the trust.

Asset protection trusts are another common trust, designed to avoid creditors and protect assets. Your RLT does not provide asset protection. This asset protection trust needs careful and considered planning. It must be created in advance of any trouble on the horizon. If you already have a claim coming down the pike, it is too late to start asset protection planning.

An irrevocable trust can also be established for someone who is receiving government benefits such as Medicaid. A Medicaid Asset Protection Trust can also be set up to protect assets and qualify for Medicaid long term care services.

Trust Planning for Retirement Assets A Standalone Retirement Trust (“SRT”) can make sense for Retirement assets. For a person who is in a second marriage, with children from a previous marriage or relationship, giving your spouse the money outright means that the spouse will be able to name a new beneficiary and is under no obligation to follow your wishes or leave anything to your children.

The SRT is a great solution to this problem. The trust allows one spouse to leave an IRA to the second spouse in trust and assure that whatever is left after the second spouse’s death goes to the beneficiaries the first spouse designates.

Another use for this trust is to assure that someone else is managing funds for minor children and making distributions as appropriate and necessary for their care and education. It also assures that a child who’s turned 18, isn’t able to take a big distribution or even cash out the entire account and blow the funds. Instead, your responsible adult trustee determines the best use of the money and makes sure there are funds for the things you would want your children to have money for.

Pet Trusts Pet trusts are not just for the wealthy. It is true that the rich and eccentric get attention for the lavish gifts they bestow on their spoiled pets. However, your own neighbors may want or need a pet trust. Why? Because some pets can live a long, long time, longer even than we live. Tortoises are one example. Another are horses – which are also expensive to keep. Setting up a Pet Trust assures the money is there to continue their proper care and assure they live out their natural life the way you would want. Pet trusts allow a pet owner to provide not just money for the animal, but detailed requirements for their care.

I would be happy to assist you with any of these types of trusts. Call our office at 602-375-6752 to make an appointment for our free initial consultation and review of your situation.

Operation Gratitude

BY C H R I S T Y VA N D E R S E E As another month of living in a global pandemic rolls behind us, many of us have such conflicting feelings and emotions about the times we are living in.

When we have children looking at us for direction it can be even harder. Instead of focusing on what we can’t do, at National Charity League, Inc. Moon Valley Chapter, we are focusing on what we can do. Starting with a heart of gratitude.

Gratitude is defined as a readiness to show appreciation for and to return to kindness. Our mothers and daughters, from the safety of their homes, turned to Operation Gratitude.

Operation Gratitude is a wonderful philanthropy that anyone of any age can participate in. They provide care packages for first responders around our country with critically needed items. One of their most treasured items in the care packages are letters. This was one of the projects the Moon Valley Chapter embraced. The other project was Survival Paracord Bracelets.

It’s not often that mothers and daughters have the opportunity to help our frontline troops from home. In homes from Moon Valley to Central Phoenix that’s exactly what happened.

You might wonder what exactly are paracord bracelets. They are bracelets made out of 7.5 feet of cord. They go to troops who use them for everything from creating a harness to extract an injured person, make a shelter, sling, or Survival Paracord bracelets made by Jennifer splint and even used to secure camouflage.

Boyle and her daughter Megan Boyle Operation Gratitude sends quarantined troops abroad these potentially lifesaving bracelets. Several of those bracelets were made by our Moon Valley members.

14 June 2020 | info@mvtattler.com

Have you ever had a bad day and you received a letter or card in the mail that lifted up your spirits? We hope that all of the letters that our Moon Valley daughters and mothers wrote will do for our countries first responders fighting COVID-19. They are our health care providers, EMS, police Madison and Reese Siordian just finished officers and firefighters. We wanted to let writing letters for Operation Gratitude them know how grateful we are for their hard work. My daughter Ava Vandersee, a freshman in high school, said,“It makes me feel grateful that even though they have such a mentally and physically draining job, they put others health before theirs. I hope the letters show that people are thinking about them.”

As we enter a new month with hearts and actions full of gratitude and hope, we wish all of you on the frontline the very best and say thank you! National Charity League, Inc. Moon Valley Chapter will continue to reach out and serve as we always have. From home or in person.

NCL, Inc. is a philanthropic organization with over 200 chapters across the country that all share the mission of fostering strong mother-daughter relationships through community service, leadership development, and cultural experiences. Members include girls ranging from 7th to 12th grade along with their mothers.

ASK Gen-E

Your Tech Questions Answered!

DEAR Gen-E:

Sponsored by Generation Tech Support

I used my mom’s computer yesterday and I couldn’t believe it but she actually installed a Web Bar! I mean, seriously. Now there’s ads popping up about skin care and miracle weight loss. It’s so dumb, my mom’s already borderline anorexic.

And now every time I search the web it stalls and ads pop up. I bet it’s stealing my data or something too. When I asked her why she even added it to the browser, she just looked at me and said, “What’s a browser?” Arg!! What can I do? I am in high school and need to get homework done. My internet can not be this slow!

Help! STUCK SARAH IN SCOTTSDALE DEAR STUCK: First, how nice of your mother to share her computer with you. Yes, we all know how frustrating it must be for teens dealing with parents and technology.

Most adults didn’t grow up with Google and actually used... books. For many older people, tech is something they have to learn. But for young people, born watching shows on tablets using tech is just another thing you already know all about. I’m surprised you haven’t already watched a YouTube video on how to uninstall the web bar? Adware is annoying and opens gateways for potential viruses.

So just uninstall it already! And since you’re such a caring daughter, you can also get a legititimate adblocker like Malware Bites. Reboot the computer and voila!

A faster computer and happy family. Who knows? Maybe your next birthday will find you unwrapping a new laptop of your own.

DEAR Gen-E: Man, am I stressed out. I am an accountant and I use a lot of Office software at work but I have a lot of distractions there so I don’t get everything done. I end up staying at work and now my wife is on my back. “Why do you stay so late?”

“Why can’t you just finish at home?” The problem though is I can’t get my Office software to work on my home computers. We have an Apple imac something and one of those Chromebooks. I’m feeling the pressure both ways. STRESSED OUT DEAR STRESSED: Take a deep breath and kiss your wife. There, that’s a nice start. Truly the correct answer is don’t take your work home, but that’s not the solution you want.

The good news is there are several options for getting Office programs available at home. One way is to get Office for Mac software for about $9 a month or $200 to purchase. If that’s too painful on the wallet, try using Google apps. It’s all free online and works with any device. With a Gmail account you have access to open source programs very similar (and sometimes preferred) to popular Office software. Even better, you can collaborate with colleagues and share the work.

Access your documents at home and work in Google Drive. So what will you do with your extra time and happy wife? Couples Massage?

Ask Gen-E Do you have tech questions eating away at you?

Optimistic

Supporting our Community BLOCK WATCHER BY BLANCHE LUKES

BY NANCY SANFORD Yes, I am rightfully optimistic about AZ Real Estate! Today was such a fun day as a Realtor. I have been working with a multi-generational family who have just moved from Stockton, CA to AZ for a better life. We embarked on this process pre Covid-19, and I had about 6 homes lined up for them to see.

Well, that didn’t happen once CA’s lockdown order was put in place, so we moved to Plan B…..Google Duo. Very cool and fun, I was able to give them virtual tours, showing them multiple properties. It seems hard to believe, but they actually bought their home without ever stepping foot inside.

And they loved it! Husband and wife, her parents, 3 kids and 4 dogs…. I cannot convey the excitement and joy they all had. It was like Christmas morning for me, knowing I had found precisely the perfect gift. And I’m betting their story is not unique; as I write this I am currently working with clients from CA, CO, IL, MA and NJ, all of whom are looking to make AZ their new HOME. We are blessed to live here!!

If you are looking for someone to guide you and cheer you on through the process, I would love to earn your trust.

Attention: A few years ago I came up with the Good Deed Fellowship.

The idea has blossomed into a very special program. No formality here, just like minded people joining together embracing the idea of doing a Good Deed every day.

So why am I writing about this? Its really fun and contageous. What!

Yes, as you get into it you start to look for ways to do a good deed. Then you find a very special sense of accomplishment and even satisfaction seeing the results.

So I had a card made On one side it says Do something special each day and on the other side it invites you to do something ie: a prayer for someone or something, pick up pieces of trash, Hold a door open for someone, initiate a smile, a thnk you and /or compliment, be helpful without being asked. In checking out our trusty internet, I find I am not so inique. This is a terrific discovery, as the more of these like minded people the better place our world will be. Let’s keep it simple, just do something special each day.

Start with our community. Reach out to a neighbor, a board member, and/or start your own Block Wach for your block. Real easy to do and very rewarding. Need help? Ask. Needless to say, how about going back to someone you grew up with, went to school with, worked with , and/or someone you haven’t talked to in ages. How special is that!

A Roadmap to Health And Wellness

BY DR. NICHOLAS WARNER, DC You might be blinded to it right now; and in fact, it may take some time to realize it. But eventually, most of us will appreciate that the past few months of “shelter in place” haven’t been totally negative, particularly in terms of giving us a roadmap to true, lasting health and wellness. Here are five health benefits of the “shutdown” that will pay dividends in the years to come: 1. Time Outdoors: Spending time in the Great Outdoors never felt so amazing until we were told to stay at home and not go anywhere. No gyms, remote work, limited entertainment options; all that and more has created a deep-seated need to go somewhere; anywhere but the houses we’ve been cooped up in for weeks on end. And many people have done it as much as possible, from walks around the neighborhood to biking, hiking and more. Sometimes, they’ve done it with family ... you know, the family you usually can’t find time to spend time with.

2. Healthy Eating: Many fast-food and dine-in establishments have stayed open during the pandemic for takeout and delivery, but that doesn’t mean regular customers have taken advantage. Fear, complacency and a general “let’s stay at home until this blows over” attitude have meant more people are making meals at home – often healthier than fast food. (When you’re sitting at home all day, cooking a meal from scratch suddenly isn’t so daunting.) Growing awareness of the immune-boosting benefits of healthy eating, among other lifestyle factors, has also served to promote dietary changes for the better.

3. Exercise Options: Day after day, month after month, year after year, you’ve trudged to the local gym. But suddenly, gyms shut down. And just as suddenly, many people found ways to stay in shape – and get into even better shape – that were more diverse, productive, time-saving and in some cases, even more enjoyable than time at the gym.

4. Staying in Touch: A person I know was notorious for not staying in touch with his immediate family, despite feeling perpetually horrible about it.

When COVID-19 came to town, his perspective – and motivation – changed for the better. Several FaceTime calls and Zoom meetings later, his psychological health is soaring because he reached out, rather than continuing to avoid.

“We’re in this together” isn’t just a mantra; it’s a wake-up call to connect more.

5. Better Hygiene: If we’ve learned two things from the coronavirus scare relative to hygiene, it’s that 1) Constant hand-washing and sanitizing isn’t necessarily the best way to live; and 2) We all should be paying more attention to hygiene than we probably were before COVID-19. We’re not saying you need to shower in sanitizer every minute or live in a bubble; but we certainly can all wash our hands a little more, avoid sneezing in public, stop touching our faces all the time, and curtail some of the other common hygiene behaviors (or lack thereof) that have been compromising our health long before the coronavirus made its grand entrance.

COVID-19 has put our health at risk, particularly the elderly and others with weakened immune systems. But it’s also given us a roadmap for future health and wellness if we learn from it. Change is scary, but it also creates opportunity. Take advantage of that opportunity to become a better you.

Scarcity- A new Concept. Acedia a very old one

TEMPORARY COVID-19 PROTOCOL TELEDENTISTRY ESSENTIAL DENTAL CARE EMERGENCY DENTAL TREATMENT 7TH ST

Scarcity is a “new” concept with Covid 19. We are not used to seeing empty shelves here in Arizona---few tornadoes or hurricanes. These days I look at every item in our home and wonder these things: 1) If something happens to it, can I replace it?

2) Is this something I really need? Is it essential? (The basic question.)

3) What could take this item’s place?

4) What would I pay to obtain more of this item? (Boxes of Kleenex were $7 at Safeway!)

5) Can I stock up now just in case?

6) Could I sell this item so should I stock up? (Is this what people are doing?)

7) Do I trust the Universe to supply this item? Or will Spirit provide me what I need?

There are all kinds of questions we are asking ourselves. We can either feel frantic about them or relax and trust. But trust who? Trust what? We are supposed to be self-sufficient. Through our own creativity and actions we should be able to meet all challenges. What is that all about when jobs are scarce and shelves empty? Do we start growing our own veggies? (A real possibility.) Will there be seeds? The simple principles of supply and demand are humbling. It works like this: 1) there is a demand for toilet paper, 2) woops...where is the supply? There seems to be a glitch in the supply chain! Now meat, although Arizona has plenty of animals.

And then there are the silver lining thoughts. People are becoming very creative. It is exciting! A friend proposed that we all say, “Something wonderful is about to happen!” She felt that if we put enough energy into that thought, wonderful things WILL happen! I love that thought and hold it in my heart.

I remember that during World War II, we were given gasoline rationing stamps. But, there was a gas station in Zion, Illinois, just across the border from Waukegan. Coupons were not required! So, on weekends, the only time Dad could come with us, there were long lines of people waiting to gas up our cars.

With a full tank, Mom could drive to the store for groceries during the week and Dad could drive his carpool to work one day a week in the next town. We felt flush! We were so joyful! Besides, there was a cookie factory in Zion. Mom bought big boxes of broken cookies! Out of scarcity came unusual pleasures.

What are our joys now?

--Getting to know family members better and appreciating them.

--Visiting neighbors outside who we haven’t known well.

--Walking at night under the moon’s glow.

--Counting blessings.

--Giving to others.

--Being quiet.

--Being good to ourselves.

--Appreciating medical staff and first responders, for sure.

--Loving the blue, blue skies.

--Listening to happy bird friends.

--Having time to straighten files and sort through clothes and clean everything.

Designing your New Kitchen

BY TOM SER TICH, K IRK DE VELOPMENT Designing a kitchen can seem overwhelming to the homeowner.

However, with the correct Professional working for you, this overwhelming task will result in a positive experience and a new kitchen of your dreams. Your Professional Remodeler will be able to tell you how to use the space you have and how to expand the space if necessary.

There are a few questions you should ask yourself before you start the design process.

1. How many people work in the kitchen at the same time?

2. Do you want a dining area in the kitchen?

3. What appliances do you want in your kitchen?

4. Is an island important?

5. Do you need a small prep sink?

6. Sink size and type.

7. Where are your biggest problems in your existing kitchen?

Throwing Shade B Y K AT H L E E N V I C K With the heat of the season here already many of us have been forced to cease our recent walks through the Moon Valley because it’s just too hot and we have all been further confined.

All of the paving: roads, parking lots and roofing (clay, concrete and asphalt tiles) that came with development are “heat sinks”. They collect and hold the heat during the day and radiate it back during the night, so the next day starts off warmer and Phoenix has grown hotter over the years.

According to a study by the University of Arizona, the years between 1961 and 1990 saw an average mean temperature of 72.6 degrees.

According to the Arizona State Climate Office, by 2019 the average mean daily temperature had jumped to 74.9 degrees.

But wouldn’t it be nice if we could do something about it? Could we give our selves and our neighbors a cooler, more pleasurable experience so we could all stroll around Moon Valley at all hours of the day? Well, there is a way we could accomplish that: by providing shade on the sidewalk. We all know that shade is the antidote to heat and if we all planted 2 or 3 desert shade trees (ironwood, live oak etc) on our property, close to the sidewalk along the front of our property, we could provide continuous shade along the streetscape and bring the local temperature down a bit.

It may take a few years for us to realize the results. (The old saying for plants is: “The first year they sleep; the second year they creep; the third year they leap!”) And, even desert trees take some watering the first two years, but we will all be the recipients of a cooler, more delightful neighborhood in the future.

Let’s be kind to each other, to the wildlife and to ourselves, and plant some trees!

“Housing Could Spur the Nation’s Recovery...”

THE WRITE STUFF BY GERRY JOHNSON

Moon Valley Neighborhoods: Sunset North

BY JULIE PEK Tucked between Coral Gables and 5th Avenue, Sunset North is a hidden gem in Moon Valley. This area was developed in the mid- to late 1970’s by the builder Blankenship. A common area, community pools, a dog park and many cul de sacs make up this neighborhood of 110 homes.

“I like looking out in my cul de sac and watching my grandchildren ride their bicycles, and know that they are safe,” says Mary, who moved into the neighborhood about 4 years ago. Mary and her husband Bob raised their family in Moon Valley and when their son presented an opportunity for them to move into Sunset North, they jumped at it.

You see, their son and his growing family were already living in Sunset North and they were looking for a larger home. When the home next door became available, they bought it and asked if Mary and Bob would buy their old home.

“Our son’s starter home became our retirement home,” said Mary. And now they are next door neighbors.

Sunset North is filled with families who enjoy the quiet streets and common areas. The dog park is unique to the neighborhood and is a great place for homeowners to take their pets and catch up with each other. To celebrate Halloween, the neighbors set up tables with candy for the kids in each of the cul de sacs. And for the Christmas holiday, one neighbor brings out his festive hay wagon and takes fellow neighbors around to see the Moon Valley lights and decorations.

There are various architectural styles in these stucco-constructed homes and the average size is around 2,400 square feet. Current home values are in the $350,000 to $475,000 range, depending on the condition and improvements made on the homes. If you’d like more information about Sunset North homes, call me and I’ll introduce you to a starter home or a retirement home!

“Every crisis is unique and the dynamics at play in each is different.

That’s true of the coronavirus pandemic — the nightmare scenario of a health care emergency accompanied by entire industries shutting down globally.”

These are the words of Christian deRitas, deputy chief economist at Moody’s Analytics, used to preface an interview in Scotsman Guide (a magazine of the mortgage industry).

DeRitas goes on to say that our current crisis is more akin to a disaster such as 9/11, rather than the Great Recession which lingered on for several years. Not meaning to downplay the severity of the coronavirus pandemic, he believes the economy will improve rapidly when the crisis is contained.

The first half of the year is projected to be one of the roughest in our history, but if we soon clear the impact of the virus and contain the spread, the amount of stimulus that has been injected into the economy will have a significant impact on our economic recovery.

Housing is contracting, along with many other segments of our economy. Isolation and sheltering in place do not lend themselves to shopping for homes.

Although, mortgage refinances have enjoyed a resurgence, this is expected to wane as most borrowers who qualify to refinance will have done so by year’s

end.

But here is the point, housing could lead the way out of this downturn. “There is significant pentup demand.” This has been the case in all previous recession cycles, except the Great Recession, which had very different underpinnings.

Right now, consumer food-store purchases are very strong as people have a “hoarding” mentality. Also, online delivery services are prospering.

Health care will continue to flourish with government funding of researching cures and vaccines. And, these may continue as we emerge from this crisis.

Once we can see the daylight, construction and housing are uniquely situated to spur local economies.

They touch so many local services like utilities, furniture, construction services, area development, etc. Low interest rates, which are not expected to rise anytime soon, low oil prices, and the injection of fiscal stimulus are all key ingredients to restore people’s confidence. “People will be shopping for homes and cars and everything else. I have no doubt about that,” says Jim Davis Editor of Scotsman Guide.

We are uniquely situated for a V shaped recovery – meaning the economy, led by housing, could come back as steeply as it went down.

MVNA Membership Drive & the New Normal

BY BRET ALDIERI, MVNA PRESIDENT It’s June which translates to summer heat and pool safety. While the children have been home for a few months due to the pandemic, it’s still important to re-emphasize the importance of constant adult supervision when kids are around water. The Arizona Department of Health Services lists drowning as the third most common cause of unintentional injury related death. The group at highest risk are children in the age range of one to four years old. ADHS advises to have four-sided isolation fencing with self-closing / self-latching gate; teach kids to swim before age 8 and constant adult supervision.

More information is listed on www.safekids.org/ poolsafety.

MVNA is still conducting our 2020 membership drive. We are currently at 40% membership – so need more folks to join us.

Dues for 2020 are $150 total for the entire year, which brings our contracted security service with their Vacation daily home checks and the MVNA services and communications. It’s not too late to join – easiest is to pay using our online link at www.moonvalleyna.org/membership. php.

AZ Pandemic update.

The State of Arizona has started to relax rules for stores and restaurants to open. These come with new rules, but many establishments have delayed their reopening to figure out the new normal. There’s no right answer for when it’s safe to venture out – it really depends on your own personal risk assessment. Those at higher risk are seniors AND those with underlying medical conditions,

22 June 2020 | info@mvtattler.com

who are advised to exercise the most caution to limit their possible exposure to the virus. That means the rest of us also have a responsibility to help shield those at risk, by limiting our contact, keeping proper distance, practicing “hyper” hygiene AND continue to support those that remain quarantined. It’s clear there will be a new normal, one that that will continue to evolve.

A good resource for virus data and advice is the Arizona Department of Health Services – www.azdhs.gov. They advise to wash hands for 20 seconds duration frequently, avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth, stay at home if you are unwell, cover any cough or sneeze with a tissue or your sleeve, clean and disinfect objects and surfaces frequently.

I encourage all of us to support our local businesses. The pandemic and resulting economy shutdown have challenged our local businesses.

If you are not comfortable going into a business, most are offering curbside service that can be coordinated with a simple phone call. Most restaurants continue to offer take out services, with some offering family package specials. Best to check their website for options or give them a call. I’ve seen food and drink trucks serving our community – what a great way to still network with neighbors and friends.

Let’s keep others in mind as we all venture out. Continue to offer help to those at higher risk – let’s take care of our families, friends and neighbors. Please stay safe and healthy Moon Valley!

To Purge or Not to Purge - That was the Question B Y PAU L A C U L L I S O N Needless to say, the COVID-19 crisis has affected all of us in many different ways. The death toll keeps rising here and around the globe. The uncertainty of its ending is overwhelming.

Not knowing if it was going to be the initial indication of two weeks’ worth of self-quarantine or longer, I decided to set a routine work agenda. For 5 to 6 hours a day, I would systematically clear out and reorganize my home office.

About 10 years ago, I had spent a fair amount of time disposing of old files and bank records. This was to be a major effort. I actually started with 10 years’ worth of greeting cards. It became a lovely walk down ‘Memory Lane’, as I reread every message. How fortunate to have had the time to reflect on old and new friendships. Most of the cards will be repurposed by volunteers who create new cards from old (without the personal messages) for use by military personnel. I have done this in the past. I did save one shoebox full of cards from family members.

Next up were the files. Some of my files were older than 10 years. Most were placed in the recycle bin, the financial and bank statements were shredded. I created a number of three ring binders to hold those special documents, letters, newspaper articles, etc. For this huge task, I took a box full of files outside and sat in a shaded area, as I reread almost all of their respective contents. I continued this until all files had been re-examined and their contents met their respective fate: salvation or recycling. I kept to the schedule - five hours a day / seven days a week.

Reorganizing the office closet brought forth more forgotten items, i.e. a Sony Walkman, some floppy and ZIP disks, along with plenty of ‘this and that’.

As the self-quarantine period continued, I ventured into the hall closet where many family photographs (not placed in albums) were housed.

There I found more hidden treasures; namely my high school and teen memorabilia, including an after the Prom group photo at the Copacabana in NYC. This vintage stuff also included famous autographs; most notably of Buddy Holly and Chuck Berry. As a young teen, I had attended numerous Alan Freed Rock n’ Roll shows at the Brooklyn Paramount. Growing up in NYC certainly had its advantages.

I decided to redecorate the walls in my office with some of my travel photography and to regroup my travel books. Happy with the results, I decided to move on and tackle the pantry - aka our library (never used for food storage). It had been a few years since I donated over 100 books to the library. It was time for a major resorting. It seems that at our house books tend to multiply like rabbits. Parting with books is always ‘sweet sorrow’. But alas, many must go. They will find other good homes.

Last week I decided to venture into my husband’s home office where I had stored even more of my forgotten files and found a box full of the (Greg now 51 and Pam now 47) children’s memorabilia – grammar and high school report cards, certificates, letters, drawings, Eagle Scout project report, Girl Scout badges, etc.

Oh My – more hidden treasures! Needless to say, two large packages were created for them. It took quite a while for me to read everything, as I recalled all the wonderful times at Lookout Mountain, Mountain Sky, Thunderbird High School and with their various Scouting programs. Fortunately, they had already taken their college ‘stuff’.

This is the type of project that one always seems to think: I’ll get around to it. But time has a way of passing quickly - faster than we ever imagined. Time is precious. We must use it wisely. If you are considering a reorganizing of your home office, I say - Go For It. Paula Cullison, the author has lived in the Moon Valley area - Moonridge Estates since 1974.

Running Safety 101: PSA from Coach Egan

Anyone else ready for a sense of normalcy to return? Funny how the last day our kids were in school was a Friday the 13th! That lead to Spring Break, which rolled into quarantine, and here we are at the end of the school year feeling like we have already been home for a month of summer break. One of the positives I have noticed from the COVID 19 experience is the increase in the number of people getting out and about in our beautiful Moon Valley neighborhood. There are many more runners out since COVID. That is great news! People are finding it a great stress reliever and a positive way to get their fitness in while having a bit of extra time to explore the routes. While the Stay at Home restrictions have been lifted, I truly hope you continue your running routine.

Cars and bikers have rules of the road to follow but what about walkers and runners who use the street? As a running coach with over 30 years’ experience, I would like to remind you about running safety on the roads. We are fortunate to have a quiet neighborhood and it feels like we do not have to pay too much attention to our surroundings when we are out running. We have this sense of security that we are close to home and the traffic is light. Sometimes we put in the ear pods, crank the tunes, and get lost in our workout. That’s all good right?

Until it’s not. There are so many distracted drivers out there that you as a runner must make sure you are watching out for yourself.

-While running on the roads, always run against traffic. You need to look up and make eye contact with the drivers. If you cannot see their eyes, they cannot see you.

-Beware of people backing out of their driveways.

-If you are wearing ear pods, keep it to one so you can still hear the world around you.

-Make sure you let your family know which route you are on and approximately when they should expect you home.

-With the heat creeping in, be sure to always be hydrated. Thirst is a sign of dehydration. A general rule of thumb is to make sure you consume half your

body weight in ounces. If you weigh 130 lbs., you should be drinking around 65 ounces of water a day.

-Keep an eye out for critters. Weather it is the neighbor’s overzealous dog or a rattle snake, have your cat like reflexes ready!

We always feel it can never happen to us. This July will mark 7 years for the loss of a friend who was hit by a car while out for her morning run. It was a quiet little side street a few miles north of Moon Valley. She was a block from her front door, chatting with a friend, just starting to pick up the pace when a distracted driver came out nowhere.

Accidents happen so the best we can do as warriors of the road is to face traffic and pay attention. I love seeing all of you out there running and walking!

We have such a diverse group of fitness fanatics. Some getting in shape for their health, some training for their first or 50th 5k, and there are even some Ultra runners out there. Keep up the good work and make sure you are seen! “I don’t run to add days to my life, I run to add life to my days” ~Ronald Rook

Trapper’s Rendezvous is truly a hidden gem of Williams!

We had a special moment here and the stay experience was too awesome to not give credit where due. My boyfriend Michael and I were travelling from Phoenix to the quiet town of Williams for a job that I had over the weekend and we had arranged to stay at Trapper’s Rendezvous on Friday and Saturday. Communication with the innkeepers, Emily and Matthieu, was great from the start. As soon as I booked the stay they reached out about food allergies for breakfast. I emailed them on the way up because we ran into an accident and were going to be late.

They responded immediately with instructions including an image for where to park and where to enter. When we finally arrived at 9:30 p.m., the door was left unlocked and had a guest information letter taped to it. They had left the heat and lights on for us and there was a sweet, handwritten note on a table inside next to the room key. Although it was late, our first evening was very special for us because we revealed the gender of our baby.

We sat down that evening to cut a cake that our baker friend had made us and discovered that we are having a boy! I’ll never forget that we found out at Trapper’s.

The Room: There are six Southwestern themed suites at Trapper’s Rendezvous, and we stayed in Squash Blossom. The room was super warm and ‘homey’ feeling when we first walked in, complete with tasteful Native American décor and unique furniture pieces. The room has a massive bed (which Michael thought was like sleeping on a cloud), a table for two, a seating area, and even a small attached room that offers additional seating and a small bed with a pullout. I could see this secondary room being ideal for folks travelling with kids. There were also convenient appliances like a mini fridge, microwave and coffee pot. The space was super clean – and I check because I’m just that kind of person. There was no dust, no hair – not a drop of evidence indicating lazy inn keepers or others who had stayed before us. After a long day of work and travel on our first evening (plus the exciting news!), it was lovely to take a hot bath in a spacious tub to wind down. We also enjoyed the ability to login to our streaming service on the t.v. That little detail made it feel even more like home. This particular room offers an incredible view. We laid in bed for about 30 minutes in the morning and just looked out the front door and windows at the mountainous landscape, which included a foreground of the neighbor’s chickens, goats and fluffy farm dog.

Inn Keepers: At 9:30 a.m. we went to the main building for breakfast which is the first time we met the innkeepers. We immediately smelled coffee and bacon.

Emily and Matthieu introduced themselves. Emily is from Oregon and Matthieu is from France. They’ve been travelling around the world as innkeepers for several years. Their time in hospitality was evidenced by our fabulous experience. They learned more about us and began bringing out breakfast: broccoli and onion frittata, fresh toast with strawberries, freshly made blueberry scones, yogurt with sliced banana and coconut, bacon, and agave nectar juice. Oh, and kiwi that was sculpted into a flower! Emily came out at one point and asked very seriously if we would like her to bring out anything else to which we started laughing. Matthieu gave us a list of his favorite nearby lakes, made other recommendations for places to visit, and told us not to hesitate to come to them if we needed anything. As we walked out at the end of breakfast, Michael said that they felt like friends that he should stay and help clean up. They seem like awesome people and the breakfast was fabulous.

Environment: Trapper’s Rendezvous has covered picnic tables and a grill in the common area of the units. It also has a fire pit with plenty of firewood and seating available. A sign nearby encourages s’more making. Just beyond the firepit is an easy trail that leads to a cute little creek. Each unit has chairs and a table right outside the door so you can enjoy a breeze on the patio. Picturesque, peaceful, quiet. The Town of Williams is known as the Gateway to the Grand Canyon because it’s where the train (or Polar Express in December) takes off from en route to the natural wonder of the world. People say it’s a winter wonderland during the holidays. By vehicle, Trappers Rendezvous is minutes from downtown Williams on the historic Route 66. Main street feels like a classic southwestern blast out of the past, offering plenty of eateries, bars and shops. I noticed that most stores had fresh flowers out front and American flags line the street. If you’ve had your retail fill there are also many amazing trails and lakes to visit. Flagstaff is just 30 minutes away. Bearizona is also worth checking out while staying in Williams.

We had the best time in Williams and Trapper’s Rendezvous added exponentially to the experience. We are already talking about visiting again this winter and will definitely return to Trapper’s.
